Participating in a Meeting

You can participate in a meeting by:

  • Using permissions : You must have permission to edit/share to edit files or to start instant meetings from the Participant List, and you must have permission to speak before you can speak during an audio/video meeting.
  • Editing files : You can edit a file that another participant is sharing, or you can use the whiteboard tools to edit a file on the whiteboard.
  • Responding to a poll : A poll is a question that the Moderator asks everyone in the meeting. You respond to the poll to answer the question.
  • Raising your hand : You can raise your hand to get the Moderator's attention when you have something to say.
  • Transferring a file to another participant : Immediately transfer a file to anyone in the Participant List of a meeting, a chat meeting, or your contact list.
  • Inviting others to join the meeting : For example, if the Moderator asks a question about a project that you are working on with a coworker, you can invite the coworker to the meeting.
  • Responding to an invitation : If you are invited to a meeting, you can respond to the invitation privately, join the meeting, or decline the invitation.
  • Sending a chat message or speaking during the meeting
  • Saving the chat from the meeting: You can save the chat transcript from the meeting to a directory on your computer.

Note There are fewer options available for participants in broadcast meetings and instant chat meetings. See "Participating in a Broadcast Meeting" and "Chatting with People" for more information.
